I know this name isn't exactly met with positivity here, and I'm not a big fan, but Madden was just DESTROYING Carlyle at around 4 on his show. I just happened to be out and flipped to the X and was straight up lol'ing in my truck.

All the hockey gods are 4th line grinders from the 50's era from the original 6 teams. They clutched, they grabbed, they can't stand fluid skilled hockey. The hockey god from Toronto is a joke, that's why Toronto will never win a stanley cup. Often times the hockey gods are screwing with each other's team, that's how other teams win the Stanley cup, and original six teams often feel screwed by officials. In some rare cases, the hockey gods form an agreement, which is how Boston won a cup a few years ago, and Montreal in 1993 (The entire Islander team was an anti-skilled hockey creation from the depths of hockey hell that the hockey gods used to ruin hockey - thus triggering the dark ages of the clutch and grab era, the hockey gods released a monster they could not control to buy that Canadians cup, until the savior of hockey Sidney Crosby was drafted to bring light back to the game). It should be said hockey gods can not directly affect a player, that's why Crosby got hurt - Iginla pissed off the Boston hockey god, and so rather than see fast, skilled hockey - the career 4th line hockey gods again guide a puck into Crosby's mouth - to send a message to Iginla and the hockey world. This hockey team, and Crosby will deliver the game from these 4th line monsters - and destroy their petty control of the game once and for all.

Randy Carlyle has always been an old-school hockey player, but he has an impish, teasing style which he showed in the many, many locker room pranks he played on his teammates while here and in Winnipeg. I'd be willing to bet that he delivered that line with a wink and a giggle when asked for his opinion. Randy is a really great guy and has a schoolboy side of him that likes to playfully poke at people just to see what reaction he can get. As far as MM goes, he again is proving what a bozo he has always been. His schtick is to take a small incident and blow it out of proportion to rile up listeners for his show. I would rather listen to the ocean or a lecture on foot fungus than to hear his stupid voice. His comments about Carlyle are further proof that he knows little about hockey or hockey players.
